Education
is loose rag for bodies,
a fine silk for minds
woven in knowledge and time.
Born
in folly nakedness
our fingers reach out
for those glinting threads
of meaning
and feeling
to hush and hold
and swaddle our souls
‘till our voices ride breaths
and sow words that give depth
to the days spent in light
and in sorrow.
Make the cloth for a better tomorrow.
